FRANKLIN SQUARE, N.Y. - s4story -- Texpak offers three different types of Avery Dennison's Ecotach™ fasteners that help brands and retailers achieve their sustainability goals. The choices range from biodegradable fasteners to recycled fasteners. All have been tested by independent 3rd party companies to validate Texpak's commitment to sustainability and so that you can select the right fastener for your sustainability journey.

Biodegradable (bio-PP) Fasteners

The bio-PP Fastener is made of a proprietary blend of polypropylene material specifically designed to biodegrade in less than a year once it is on soil, without leaving behind any harmful substances. The technology used results in no microplastics so that when a fastener degrades all that is left is carbon dioxide, water and microbes (biomass).
